Experience Devotional Joy
At Ram Kripalu Dham, festivals are not mere social rituals; they are deep spiritual opportunities. Each event is celebrated in its authentic form with hours of ecstatic chanting (sankirtan), discourses explaining scriptural context, temple decorations, and delicious vegetarian feast prasadam.

Holi: The Colors of Divine Love
Holi is the celebration of supreme devotional joy. We commemorate the divine pastimes of Shri Radha Krishna playing with water colors in Vrindavan. Devotees participate in a colorful flower-petal holi, followed by throwing organic powder colors amidst thousands of voices chanting devotional songs.
